Default Cheap supercrew sub option.

Picked this up from walmart today. Not too happy with the fit but I think it will work as a starter. 120 bucks... If I can't live with it I will return it. Now i just need that PAC module, speaker connector adapters, and a mono amp.... just trying to add bass to the stock system as well as upgrade the stock speakers while using the stock head unit.

What do you guys think? Ugly? Ok? Idk, it doesnt stick out too far when the seats are down and this is one of the first boxes i have seen in person that allow the woofer to move. Other ones the seat is pushing against the woofer.

Anybody have experience with this sub? Was thinking about just using some buckles to clip the sub in while it is in use and then unclip if i need to do anything.

i'd like to see it a little more tucked in but not bad for a prefab box.

Agreed. I opened it in the parking lot and put it in and was like DAMN! Even if it were an inch more in it would look much better. Idk, when you sit in the seat you don't really notice.

Hmm it sticks out a few inches. Is it just a stepping stone till you can find something better? Atrend makes a dual 10" box for $80 that fits unde the seat

Here you are. You get a whopping 6" of mounting depth A whole 1" more than the supercrew sound boxes. I've been putting 1200rms to my subs an the box had held up well

If you're looking to just supplement your stock stereo you could go with this. I have it and it rounds out the system nicely. You won't win any SPL contests but.....

As a plus it will fit behind your rear seat so it won't take up any floor space.

Well I added it to my aftermarket systems but it comes with speaker level inputs. Basically you tap into the speaker wires in your rear doors to get signal to amp. The it is a ground and positive to battery.

Works great and will work great with the stock system. You can add the add on to add an amp and then run RCAs but its more money and an extra step.

Do you think it would fit under the front passenger seat?
